“I’ve always been very interested in people. Originally, I wanted to study philosophy, but by accident, I stumbled into a psychology seminar,” said neuroscientist Friederike Fabritius. “I wanted to see how people behaved rather than thinking about how people behaved.” This led her to the study of neuroscience.
Friederike is the author of ‘The Leading Brain’ and ‘The Brain-Friendly Workplace.’ The latter is a smart, science-based approach to retaining talent, finding better places to work, and making the world a better place.
In this interview, we talk about how the body and the brain are connected, why sleep is a washing machine for your brain, the importance of movement and sunlight for your brain, how to break up your day for laser focus, why many deep thinkers feel drained in fast-paced jobs, internal diversity in the workplace, and ways to feel better both today and for your future self.
